werner has a tell

[Coltivated]

I thought he did pretty good tonight I especially like his hand use. I couldn't help noticing every time he was standing he would drop into pass coverage. Correct me if I'm wrong but I knew what he was doing before every play. I specifically remember redding commenting on what makes the Baltimore 3-4 defense so effective was the fact that you didn't know pre snap who was rushing or dropping into coverage. Maybe I'm being anal but this could be a huge flaw.

It's preseason. Pagano isn't trying to make the D look exotic right now, especially for Werner. Trying to get him experience and comfortable.

for the sake of argument lets just say you are right....  I am sure if you saw it then the coaches will and it is  VERY EASILY corrected so calling it a "huge flaw" is being way too over the top

Some one screen shot these "tells" and his subsequent actions. Seems strange to me.

[ÅÐØNϧ 1]

A Tell ?

 

 

 I'll tell ya  everything I  know about the Germanator ...Do you have a few seconds to waste ?  He played in 1 game .

[lollygagger8]

He's a bust then. Ship him back to Germany.

I think it's more accurate to say that he stood up every time he lined up as an OLB and he was in his 4 point stance every time he was lined up as a DE.  

[OffensivelyPC]

You're being a bit too critical.  Kyle and Jason sum it up perfectly.  Either it's a positional demarcation or it's easily corrected.  No coach in the world is going to let an OLB/DE give off that consistent of a tendency without addressing it.

[Rafiki]

Nothing more then coincidence I am sure.  The defense is running very vanilla packages so far. I'm sure when the regular season you will see him rush when standing up as well as pass coverage.

[Valpo2004]

It's called being vanilla when you are in the pre-season because you don't want to give too much away before the season starts.  

 

No coach is going to let a tell that obvious go into the regular season.

He was in coverage several times ad didn't look like a liability, for a OLB in coverage. Shows good instincts in all 3 phases in his position. Rushing, Run stopping, coverage.plus he comes from a 4-3. i think we got what some talking heads call a " football player "I'm glad we got him.

It was his 1st pro game. Could you be confused with him playing 2 positions?  One is upright and the other in a 4 point stance.  I could be wrong as I wasn't looking at him specifically but the coaches will catch any give a ways and get them coached up. He will be studying his own tapes as well.

Sorry Jason, I pretty much answered the comment with what you said. I didn't see your response till later in the thread. 

[Tark The Shark]

Werner I thought looked good, even if he had "tells" in that game.

 

As long as he produces, when the games matter, then I wouldn't care if he told the blocker what he was going to do every play.

[throwing BBZ]

Zero chance he is doing other than what he is being asked to do.  silly
looked darn good for a Rook.
